These credit approval authority regulations apply to all credit decisions within the business segment.

So kenne ich das, in dem Zusammenhang des Beispiels für Kreditkompetenz.

Can't answer your question, but my brother who works in personnel told me to translate "Kompetenz" (i.S.v. area of authority) as "competency"

Hearing on "Responding to Homeland Threats:Is Our Government Organized for the Challenge?"

Opening Statement of Chairman Joe Lieberman
Senate Governmental Affairs Committee

Friday, September 21, 2001
...
Both commissions criticized this state of organization and offered recommendations to improve homeland security.

The Hart-Rudman Commission proposes the establishment of a National Homeland Security Agency, an independent agency whose director would be a member of the President's cabinet. The agency would be responsible for coordinating an array of federal activities relating to homeland security.

I must say that I come to this hearing favoring the Hart-Rudman approach. But I want to hear from all sides in this important discussion. I favor the Hart-Rudman approach because it seems to me that creating a homeland security agency has special merit. If you want to get a job done, there is no substitute for having an organization with line, as opposed to advisory, authority and a budget of its own. In such a context, real people are responsible -- and accountable -- for making decisions and taking the necessary and appropriate action. Within an executive agency, all the policy, budget, and programmatic activities can be integrated and focused toward very specific programs and goals.

Bitte schaue Dir an, ob Du eher diesen Begriff, oder eher den nächsten einsetzen kannst.

Anm: Ein 'auditor' ist ein Kontrolleur (i. Gegensatz zum controller) oder Inspektor (i.G. z. supervisor), also einer, der etwas -- i.d.R. gründlich -- (über- ) prüft.

Der auditor kann sein: interner Rechnungsprüfer, Prüfer v. Rechnungshof, Betriebsprüfer v. Finanzamt (IRS), ... , usw. Stets prüft = test ein auditor, ob der von ihm gemessene Zustand (Betriebsergebnis, Abgas-Werte, ..., usw.) mit den Zielen und Normen (Betriebsziel, Abgas Normen) oder den Behauptungen (Steuererklärung, Betriebsbsbericht) übereinstimmt; das Ergebenis testifies the auditor.

Der inspector ist der 'Kriminaler', ermittelt bei Verdacht und Verstoß gegen Recht und Gesetz. Wenn der inspector fündig wird, berichtet er (meist) an die Staatsanwaltschaft (the inspector files a report with the public attorney's office)

Ergo:
a. - Der controller führt eine Tätigkeit durch,
. . . die ein auditor später kontrolliert / überprüft.
(zumeist auf sachliche / rechnerische Richtigkeit)

b. - Ein supervisor leitet ein team,
. . . und wird in seinem Tun und Lassen von einem inspector überwacht.
(zumeist um etwaige Rechtsverstöße zu entdecken)
